Punjab's climate is characterised by intense heat waves and extreme cold. The region along the foothills of the Himalayas receives a lot of rainfall. This region experiences high temperatures and little rainfall because it is distant from the highlands. The southwest monsoon's Bay of Bengal branch travels parallel to Tamil Nadu's coast. It is situated in the southwest monsoon rainshadow's Arabian Sea branch.
